I LOVE being pregnant. I just hate bedrest. Even when my back hurt, I didn't complain because the joy from the pregnancy ooutweighs it. And the only reason I hated bedrest was because I was always worried about the baby's health and then with #2, I was worried about Emmy too.
I had a textbook pregnancy (in a good way), and I am not looking forward to doing it for a future #2. I have no idea why since I didn't have a bad pregnancy. I think it's b/c I know I have finally gotten my body back, and I know it will be that much harder after #2. And I had a little pain under my ribs near the end of my pgcy, and I think that will get worse much sooner a 2nd time around. But I loved feeling him moving around in my stomach, and seeing the ultrasounds, etc. But - I hated peeing in the middle of the night - I would cuss/grumble every time I had to get up. I am usually a sound sleeper. (I answered that I loved some parts and hated others).
My hormones were the best they had ever been when I was pregnant. I am still trying to get things regulated and am on my 3rd Rx for birth control pills. I was also lucky and had an awesome pregnancy.
The only bad things were a constant cough and the baby sitting high up on my ribs. Everything else was wonderful. I was very happy and think the next pregnancy will go well too. It is the inbetween with hormone adjustments I hate. Oh, and losing my hair. I swore I was going bald after I stopped breastfeeding.

I loved pretty much everything except for morning sickness. After 16 weeks it was awesome and I would do it all again in an instant. (Carebear....I'm right there with you on being nervous about preggo #2...first time was so good that the second time kind of scares me.)

i had a perfect pregnancy (no morning sickness, low wt gain, no problems at all) but i was TERRIFIED of miscarrying, so for that reason I didn't love it at the time. now that i am not pregnant, I miss it. i felt so healthy!
